We are taught at an early age that it is not appropriate to drag around our favorite blanket. We simply would get looked at funny. Yet, even as an adult we still need what that blanket provided. Maybe this is why someone invented the sweater. Get a good one, and it does exactly what that blanket did years ago......keeps you warm, protects you, hides you (on a fat day), and provides comfort. I think it's time to go shopping...
